WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2024
solidarity #WithRefugees
for a world where refugees are welcomed
A refugee is someone who flees home and country owing to ‘a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion’. Many refugees are in exile to escape the effects of natural or human-made disasters.
WORLD REFUGEE DAY (June 20) is designated by the United Nations to honor refugees around the globe, an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
